I just want to say thank you to all those who reviewed my 1st chapter. I was so happy to see your guy's comments and I truly hope you enjoy this chapter too. :)

Nikki found herself dreaming of her family. They were all crying and sad and she couldn't seem to figure out why. Her mother would stay in bed and cry to herself while her father would just sit in his office and drink from the bottle of scotch he hid under his desk. Never had she ever seen her parents act like this, not even when one of her grandparents died. It made her wonder why her siblings weren't in her dream. They all loved their parents and truthfully, they would do their best to console them, especially in a time like this.

The world turn dark for a moment and when it came back again, she found herself in a grave yard on a bright sunny day. Nicki certainly thought this was odd. Never before had she ever dreamed of something like this and also everything just looked so… real. It was starting to creep her out.

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a large group of people, in black, huddling together. She immediately understood it was a funeral and began to wonder who it was for. Then she recognized one person walking away from the group. It was her Aunt Sarah, Nate and Hana's mother. She was crying. Nicki quickly rushed over to her, "Aunt Sarah!" She called, but the woman didn't respond. In fact she just kept on going as if she didn't even hear her. "Aunt-"

"Sarah!" a voice called behind her. Nicki quickly spun around and saw that it was her uncle Jim, Sarah's husband. He was racing over towards them.

"Uncle J-" She began, but then suddenly her uncle ran right into her and went right THROUGH her. Nicki gasped. What the hell had just happened? How the hell did that just happen? She quickly looked over to her aunt and uncle and they were still acting as if they didn't see her. As if she wasn't even there. Fear started to find its way to the pit of her stomach, making the hair on the back of her neck stand up. She really hoped what she thought was happening, wasn't really happening.

"Sarah!" Jim called again and finally her aunt slowed down and stopped. Jim came over and spun her around to look at him, "Come one Sarah, we need to go back."

"I can't Jim!" She wailed, "I can't."

"Yes you can." He kissed her forehead and wrapped his arms around her. "We'll go back together. Okay?"

Sarah couldn't even muster up a reply. She just continued to tear up, but she nodded and the couple walked back to the funeral. Nicki swallowed hard as she followed them. The three of them returned back to the funeral. Then Nicki looked over to the caskets and a tear started to run down her cheek. There were five caskets and next to each one was a bouquet of flowers and a picture of the deceased. They were all lines up in a row, Nathan, Hana, Sophie, Jon, and then and the very end of the other side, Nicki saw a picture of her own self. A part of her wanted to scream. This had to be a joke, she was right there. However nothing came out and she stayed there, silent and unmoving. Nicki stayed for the whole thing. She watched her mother break down during her little speech. She watched her uncle do they best to continue to comfort his wife, even though he was barely able to keep it together himself.

At the end she watched her parents leave the site. She was just about to follow them when she suddenly saw a light shining from behind her. Nicki looked around to see if anyone else saw it, but no one even glanced up, so she assumed that they didn't. She supposed that she should have been frighten by the light, but instead it just gave her a since of such overwhelming love and peace. So much so, she didn't even realize that she was beginning to involuntarily walk towards it.

"Come quickly! She is awaking!" Nicki heard a woman's voice. It was quickly followed by several pairs of footsteps.

"Nicki!" A voice called, she believed it to be her brother.

"Nic!" Sophie….

"Keep her back for a sec. I need to talk to her first."

"Jon, she needs-" Hana?

"Let him." That was Nate. She was sure of it.

It wasn't much later that Nicki felt a hand on her arm trying to shake her awake. "Careful!" Someone said, but she couldn't figure out who. Her eyes started to flicker, trying their best to become awake. Then suddenly they flew right open. She quickly sat up and started panting. Where was she? What was going on? All she could remember was getting in the car and- the crash. She was in a car accident. She had to be in the hospital. She started to look around. This didn't look like any hospital she had ever seen. Everything was so white, decorative, shiny, and natural looking. There weren't even windows. Just pillars and open walls, no glass and not one single piece of machinery in sight. Nicki had to admit it, wherever she was, it was absolutely beautiful.

"Where-" She began to speak, but was quickly cut off when a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her.

"Good God, I am so happy you are okay." Jonathan hugged her tightly. For a second, she thought he would start crying, but he quickly composed himself and pulled away. "How do you feel?"

"Dizzy." She admitted. It was then that she realized he wasn't the only in the room. On the other side of the bed was a woman, a tall, beautiful woman. She had to be at least 5"11' with beautiful pearl skin and long brown hair. Seriously, she had to be like the most drop dead gorgeous woman she has ever seen in her entire life, by far.

"It is alright, child." The woman gracefully placed a hand on her shoulder to comfort her, "You are safe here. Have no worries."

"Yeah, okay." Nicki eyed her suspiciously, "but where is here exactly?"

The woman smiled, "Rivendell."
